When Culture Hates You: Persevering for the Common Good as Christians in a Hostile Public Square

How should Christians respond to a culture that’s declared war on reality, reason, and biblical truth? When Culture Hates You has the answers. This timely book is a biblical guide to engaging a hostile culture with courage and conviction. It will help you to see just how important this fight is—and how engaging in it is not an abdication of our Christian duty to love, but a fulfillment of it. Every Christian who loves his neighbor and cares about our culture’s decline needs to read this book.

Jesus told us that the world would hate us as much as it hated Him. But He also promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church. Natasha Crain does an excellent job of helping us understand the challenges we face in today’s post-Christian culture while at the same time giving us hope and confidence that, at the end of days, we win!
